A fairly big step away from Rufus' previous works, but more creatively innovative and expressive. His lyrics are quintessential Rufus, tinged with the psychic echoes of his recovery from methamphetamine addiction, and his songs go from the bittersweet but celebratory, Bolero-backed "Oh What a World" to the frighteningly falsetto, fawning, and finally freeing "Vibrate" with no jarring transitions between the various styles and genres he prances through and around. Rufus Wainwright has discovered that he likes the mantle of quasi-stardom; on "Want One," he finally lets his inner opera diva/drama queen loose across his music. Definitely my personal favorite album of his; if you'd like to hear what happens when the aforementioned diva/drama queen gets far too comfortable being large and in charge, check out Rufus' sequel to Want One, the creatively named "Want Two. " The only songs justifying a purchase of the follow-up album were put together on a "teaser" compilation, "Waiting for a Want," released between the two albums (but I believe only available on iTunes--at least it's no longer on Amazon). Things definitely calm down somewhat for his latest album, "Release the Stars," which seems more in tune with what initially attracted me to this album.
rufus continues to amaze me
" This has become one of my favorite cd's of all times in the short time that I have owned it. Rufus Wainwright's third album continues to uphold the standards he set with his self-titled album and with "Poses. The lyrics are interesting and deep, Rufus's voice is beautiful, and the orchestrations are great. Some of my favorites are "Movies of Myself," "Go Or Go Ahead," "14th Street," and "Beautiful Child. " By the way, if you ever get a chance to go to one of his concerts, DO IT! Your love will magnify a thousandfold.
